ROBERT PLANT: Unofficial Biography To Be Released In Germany

November 17, 2008

U.K.-based journalist Neil Daniels' book on LED ZEPPELIN's Robert Plant, "Robert Plant: Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page & The Solo Years" will be available in a German translation in 2009, published via Hannibal Verlag. The text will be revised, and amended for the German edition.

The book is based on interviews with many of those who knew Plant throughout his career, including childhood friends, and will cover Plant's post-LED ZEPPELIN career as well as his time in the influential rock band.

For the first time, Plant's solo years — famously working with his former LED ZEP cohort Jimmy Page, numerous guest appearances and on his own material — are covered in depth in a complete rock biography. The book also places Plant's later work in the wider context of both LED ZEP's own legacy and the broader history of modern music.

This is the very first book to tell the complete story of an enthusiastic young kid from the West Midlands who belied his humble blues roots and defied his stern parents by becoming one of the world's most recognizable and iconic rock superstars. This biography brings his career slap-bang up-to-date covering his latest album "Raising Sand" with the revered bluegrass singer Alison Krauss and the highly-publicized LED ZEPPELIN reunion in December 2007.
